Asin Thottumkal honoured by Kerala government
02 weeks ago
Beautiful actress Asin Thottumkal who is busy with the promotions of her upcoming film "Housefull 2" took time off recently to make a trip to Thiruvananthapuram where she was honoured by the government of Kerala.
The actress was awarded for her achievements and success in the field of entertainment by her home state-which makes it even more extra special for her. The annual award is presented to women who are true icons for young women in Kerala. Says Asin,
I’m honoured and humbled. It was amazing to receive the award on home soil.
She was conferred the award at a special ceremony which was attended by the state bigwigs. Asin sported the typical white and gold Kerala sari and was accompanied by her parents.
Though I have attended several award ceremonies and bagged several honours all these years, this was singularly unique for me. It was special even for my family. Being recognised by people in the place where you come from has special significance adds Asin.
Asin was born and grew up in Kochi and her first acting assignment was in a Malayalam film when still a teenager, so she feels this award will occupy pride of place on her mantle piece. Asin who began doing South films crossed over to Hindi films with Ghajini in 2008. Though she is now part of Bollywood, she featured in a Tamil film Kaavalan last year.
Shazahn Padamsee never feared being overshadowed
01 month ago
Shazahn Padamsee entered in Bollywood with Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year opposite Ranbir Kapoor , and then her second movie was Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji, which was a multi-starrer film. She is right now waiting for the release of her forthcoming comedy riot film "Housefull 2".
Shazahn Padamsee, who will soon be seen in the multi-starrer “Housefull 2″, says she never feared being overshadowed by the presence of other big names in the forthcoming comedy. Shazahn will share screen with Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez and Zarine Khan, who are also part of the cast.
“That thought never crossed my mind. I never felt like I would be overshadowed because it’s such a big opportunity for me – working with Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala. Since I watched ‘Heyy Babyy’, I had dreamt of working with the Nadiadwala and today I am here,” the 24-year-old said in an interview.
“For me, it’s a dream come true. Just to be part of such an amazing, huge film on such a big scale, I am not even thinking about being overshadowed at all. For me, being on this poster is more than enough,” she added.
Daughter of veteran theatre personality and ad man Alyque Padamsee and singer Sharon Prabhakar, Shazahn has complete faith in the film and says it is even better than the original.
“I think ‘Housefull 2′ is way crazier. Look at the amount of stars you have in this film. If you liked ‘Housefull 1′, I think you can 100 times (multiply) for ‘Housefull 2′. It’s madder, it’s crazier and I think the humour has been taken to another level. I think Sajid (Khan) has completely outdone himself in ‘Housefull 2′,” Shazahn said.
She plays Boman Irani’s daughter, a Gujarati girl, and has been paired with Shreyas Talpade. The beauty is ready to surprise audience by showing her oomph factor for Sajid Khan's Housefull 2. Jacqueline Fernandez, Asin Thottumkal and Zarine Khan are the other female leads, while Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and John Abraham form the film’s “dirty dozen” cast.
Shazahn Padamsee exclaims to be very happy to have got the chance of working in Housefull as it will help her to expand her canvas. At present, she would like to do just commercial, mainstream cinema.

03 months ago

Bodyguard
This definitely was a Salman Khan year as twoof his flicks ‘Bodyguard’ and ‘Ready’ made in ‘Dabangg’ style made it big this year. The movie grossed Rs. 22 crores, with power packed performances from Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor under the direction of Atul Agnihotri. Salman’s signature dialogue – “Mujh par ek ehsaan karna ki mujh par koi ehsaan na karna” – once again struck a chord with fans.
Ra. One
One of the most awaited, most ambitious and high budgeted films of 2011. Ra. One turned out to churn profits for SRK’s production house. Though the film failed to impress the critics, exaggerated promotion, World class VFX, amazing graphics, innovative marketing, tie-ups with multiple brands and Shah Rukh Khan as the superhero helped the film rake moolah at the box-office.
Ready
Another one from Salman Khan, this was yet again a comedy under the direction of Aneez Bazmee. The film had Salman Khan and Asin Thottumkal in the lead and had some picturesque scenes from the exotic locales of Thailand.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
A tight script based on three bachelors dealing with their friendship and romance and some pwer packed performances from the lead cast of Hrtihik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, with Kalki Koechlin and Katrina Kaif as their love interests made the film a big hit of this year. The songs of the film held on to the top positions at almost all the music stations for a considerable span this year.
The Dirty Picture
Based on the life of the South siren Silk Smitha, this controversial film was very much in news even before it hit the screens, courtesy Vidya Balan’s sensuous curvy looks in the promos of the film. Vidya Balan swept both the classes and the masses off their feet with her bold avatar in Ekta Kapoor’s “The Dirty Picture”.

Top 10 Bollywood movies of 2011
04 months ago
From real life sagas to sci-fi and experimental to sentimental dramas – Bollywood’s potpourri of hits offered a wide range of themes. Films like “No One Killed Jessica”, “Ra.One” and “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” not only satiated the moviegoer’s appetite but also yielded profits for the Hindi film industry.
Here are the Top 10 movies of the year:
1. “Bodyguard“: Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s “Bodyguard” broke the opening day records by earning Rs.22 crore on the first day. Although the story of the film, directed by Atul Agnihotri, didn’t have much to say, the music as well as the action sequences worked in its favour.
Salman’s signature dialogue – “Mujh par ek ehsaan karna ki mujh par koi ehsaan na karna” – once again struck a chord with fans.
2. “Ra.One“: World class VFX, amazing graphics, innovative marketing, tie-ups with multiple brands and Shah Rukh Khan as the superhero made sci-fi thriller “Ra.One” a profitable venture. Another highlight of the film was its music, especially the song “Chamak challo” sung by international rapper Akon. And the marathon promotion by the superstar helped bring people to the theatres.
3. “The Dirty Picture“: Her sensuous look shocked, her itsy-bitsy clothes astonished and her double meaning dialogues left audiences gasping for breath, but all this nothwithstanding, Vidya Balan swept both the classes and the masses off their feet with her bold avatar in Ekta Kapoor’s “The Dirty Picture”. An unofficial biopic of southern sex symbol Silk Smitha, the film broke the myth that only movies with “Khans” work at the box office.
4. “Ready”: Romantic comedies have been a staple of Hindi films and this year Salman Khan’s “Ready” used the recipe to earn profits. Shot in exotic locales of Thailand, director Anees Bazmee’s drama about mistaken identity saw Salman romancing Asin Thottumkal amid all the hotch-potch in their lives, thanks to their onscreen relatives.
5. “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”: Focussing on three bachelors dealing with their friendship and romance, the well-scripted film, with a resemblance to real life episodes, was supported by beautiful performances by the talented cast – Hrtihik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, with Kalki Koechlin and Katrina Kaif as their love interests.
Kudos to director Zoya Akhtar for bringing liveliness, happiness and joyfulness with such deftness on screen through an adventurous road film mostly based in Spain.
6. “Singham”: An out-and-out action film, the success of “Singham” proves that there are takers for such films. Based on the “good wins over evil” theme, the actioner takes a dig at the corruption within the police department through two main characters – honest cop Ajay Devgn and Prakash Raj as a corrupt politician. Director Rohit Shetty’s film also marked southern actress Kajal Aggarwal’s debut in Bollywood.
7. “Rockstar”: Give him a good role and he can sink his teeth into it. Ranbir Kapoor proved that again by stepping into the shoes of a musician. From a cute and simple college boy to a crazy lover to a successful but cynical singer, the young actor proved his mettle in every frame. The film appealed despite a faulty script, which had too many loose ends. In short, it was Ranbir’s film, which launched American Pakistani model in the Bollywood business. Other high points of the movie were A.R. Rahman’s music and Mohit Chauhan’s singing.
8. “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”: Not good, not bad – that is how Yash Raj Films’ “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan” could be described. Thanks to Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif and Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zaffar’s tangled love story woven against the backdrop a wedding, the romantic comedy managed to pull the crowds. The film got mixed reviews, but managed to enter the top grosser list of the year.
9. “Delhi Belly”: Replete with cuss words, weird situations, witty dialogues, the experimental movie in the English language targeted the urban audiences, who hailed this free will adult comedy as they identified with the characters of Imran Khan, Kunal Roy Kapoor and Vir Das in the movie. If director Abhinay Deo faced failure with “Game”, this film pulled him out of darkness and Aamir Khan once again proved that he has a knack for choosing the best scripts as a producer.
10. “Yamla Pagla Deewana”: After the 2007 release “Apne”, the Deol trio – Sunny, Bobby and Dharmendra – returned to the big screen with the comic caper “Yamla Pagla Deewana” by director Sameer Karnik. Though a small budget film, it received an overwhelming response. The impeccable comic timing between the father and sons struck a chord with the audiences.
Here are the Top 10 movies of the year:
1. “Bodyguard“: Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s “Bodyguard” broke the opening day records by earning Rs.22 crore on the first day. Although the story of the film, directed by Atul Agnihotri, didn’t have much to say, the music as well as the action sequences worked in its favour.

Priyanka Chopra in Mollywood?
07 months ago
Priyanka Chopra, one of the most soughtafter Bollywood actresses, is now also being pursued by Mollywood to star in the much-anticipated remake of 1986 blockbuster Raajavinte Makan. The pretty actress is the fresh addition to the list of leading Bollywood ladies who might don the role of the lawyer, played by yesteryear actress Ambika in the original. Director Thampi Kannanthanam had
earlier confirmed that Asin Thottumkal and Vidya Balan are in the running for the role in in the Mohanlalstarrer.

Asin is still falling short of offers!!!
010 months ago
After giving two of the biggest hits (Ghajini and Ready) in Bollywood, we probably expected Asin Thottumkal to be in every directors wishlist. But what’s shocking is that currently, the actress has only one project in hand and that is Housefull 2. Zarine Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez have already been cast as the other two leading ladies, which means Asin will have to share her screen space with them.
Says a trade source, “She has just one film, Housefull 2, in which she will share screen space with Jacqueline Fernandez and Zarine Khan.”
If the buzz is to be believed, Asin is quoting the same price as the likes of Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. This is the main reason why most directors are refusing to cast her in films.
Rumors also have it that the Kollywood producers and directors are unhappy about the fact that she ignored them when she started receiving offers from Bollywood.
Is it that Asin’s attitude is killing her???
Asin tags Salman as spontaneous, while, Aamir needs preparations…
010 months ago
Ready’s leading actress, Asin Thottumkal talks her heart out, comparing the perfectionist Aamir Khan with Bollywood’s heartthrob Salman Khan. According to her, Aamir prepares for his roles while Sallu is simply spontaneous.
“Salman is spontaneous. You have to be very alert while the camera is running because you don’t know what he will come up with and what you will have to do as an appropriate thing. There is not much of a discussion before the shot. So you have to be ready with whatever he throws at you during the shot,” Asin told.
“Whereas Aamir is somebody who will sit with you and the director before the camera starts rolling. He discusses with you various ways of doing it (scenes) and finally decides on one. So here you are sure of what is going to happen in front of the camera,” added the 25-year-old.
Asin also admits that she has never seen the bad side of Salman so far.
“I have never personally experienced anything wrong with Salman. Whatever I’ve come across is that he is somebody who is really pure from his heart, so whatever emotions come out, it’s just that,” said Asin who has now worked with Salman in two films – “London Dreams” and forthcoming release “Ready”.
“He is direct and straight. He doesn’t put on a face for different groups of people. When he is angry, he’ll show that and when he is not, he’ll show that too. So basically, I have not seen that very notorious side of Salman that the media keeps talking about,” she added.
Talking about “Ready”, which is releasing today, June 3, Asin said: “We started working on ‘Ready’ right after ‘London Dreams’; so it’s like back-to-back movies with Salman. The interaction I had with him during ‘London Dreams’ kind of helped me to have a comfortable relationship in ‘Ready’ because a rapport was already created.”
“I think even he is quite comfortable working with me because somewhere I get his sense of humour. He has a very straight-faced sense of humour, so we pretty much gel well with each other on the sets,” she added.
Asin and Salman’s chemistry in the film promos look so strong and real that, people have started seeing them as a couple
“Everyone knows that the rumours had no truth in them. These rumours started during ‘London Dreams’. However, I want to maintain that I am quite single and not in a relationship and that’s why I think rumours like these get accentuated more,” explained the actress, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Aamir Khan in superhit film “Ghajini”.
